The front wheel travel range hasbeen increased to enhance handlingcapability while maintainingexcellent manoeuvrability and highrigidity. For the shock absorbers, the specifi cations of the dust seals have been changed to prevent dust penetration.
Newly developed full LCDdigital instrumentationwith excellent visibilityand compact design hasbeen added.
While inheriting the KLX’s design concept of "Aggressive" and"Powerful," the new models pursue a more powerful design withincorporating the latest trends of sharp and sporty styling. A fl at linefrom the shroud to the tail lamp aims for a racy design inspired bythe KX series. “Aggressive” is expressed through a dynamic designthat evokes the model’s high kinematic performance, and “Powerful”is embodied with a massive design that lifts rider’s mood. For the off-road models, the colour variation range has beenexpanded while maintaining the current aggressive graphicsdesign theme, whereas the motard models have graphics furtheraccentuating the sporty modern impression.
A newly developed LEDheadlamp has beenadded, which achievesboth remarkablebrightness and a thindesign reminiscent ofa full-fl edged enduromotorcycle.
